Stars containing tracks of alpha particles with energies above 30 Mev were studied in a nuclear emulsion irradiated by 360- and 660-Mev protons. The effective cross section for production of these stars, the angular distribution of the fast alpha particles, and their relative probability for emission from light and heavy emulsion nuclei were determined. Emission of cascade alpha particles and emission from nuclei of fragments as a result of bombardment with protons of thc same energies were found to be quite similar. This seems to indicate that the alpha particles are produced by an identical type of mechanism. (auth)
